The DNC emails were the truth.

I wish the emails were leaked earlier so maybe Bernie, a more honest candidate that the DNC was rigging the primaries against, could have won.

I likely would have voted for Bernie in the general election.

I don't really care if they leak RNC emails if it uncovers the truth. The RNC has a lot of trash that needs to get taken to the curb.

Why are you so upset with everyone but the DNC that DNC corruption was exposed?



P.S. They may have Hillary's 30,000 deleted "yoga" emails ready to have blackmailed her had she won as expected. Putin could hold that over her head so she would stop arming terrorists and creating power vacuums like Bush-Obama...in order to protect their warm water port.
So when Russia or a foreign power hacks into our election in an attempt to promote one party over the other it's fine as long as they provide the truth. Anyone private emails are fair game because they are after all truth/


You are deflecting, Flynn and this administration are in big trouble for their actions and you can shake it anyway you want but they have some rather large issues.


The Russians also attempted to steer the French and German elections, no problem there right.

I think you misunderstood.

If that poster's assumption is correct - Trump should be removed from office - period.


However, Democrats either lack logic or are hypocrites. Democrats on this message board defended/ignored/excused Obama for (A) interfering in foreign elections trying to tip the balance, (B) spying on and hacking foreign politicians during an election year, and (C) offering Putin more flexibility after the election in exchange for Obama not creating waves for him before the election.

If we are upset when it happens to us (assuming Russia did do it), we should not accept our leaders when they do the same thing.

Just stop with the moral equivalency. It's straight out of Putin's play book and trump's as well, if you listened to the senate hearing today.

The question is why the DNC and rnc were both hacked but only dnc emails were hacked and why the podesta emails were released an hour after the access Hollywood tape dropped. And why trump encouraged russia to hack. And why fake news stories were released in swing states.

Idk if this blows back on the trump admin but Flynn offering to testify in exchange for immunity lead me to believe he did something wrong and the evidence coming out of Ukraine is probably legit.

She may disgust you but she has one of the most informative shows around, intelligence, sophistication, facts seem to turn a lot of people off. Her ratings don't compare to Sean Hannity, go figure.

I heard this too as "Breaking News" but haven't seen any article yet. I think that Flynn (thru his lawyer) has to go this route because he's in trouble on so many levels and Trump and his cronies can't claim "Executive Privilege" since he was fired ( I mean Resigned weeks later after outed as lying to Pence.. ) weeks after AG advised he was at risk for being blackmailed etc. Then of course she got fired when she refused to back Trump EO for Muslim ban. I'd bet she has a very good story to tell the FBI when debriefed!

Anyway, I doubt they even need Flynn.. Trump/Russia connections run too deep within his close circle including his own SIL! Between business dealings and political "Dirty Tricks" that can will likely get exposed has become almost viral! The difference between Trump and "Tricky Dicky" is Trump's is happening at the beginning of his Administration... Nixon, many years into his term of office 1969-1974 ( August) when impeached. IF Trump's administration remains under such pressure and suspicion.. I don't know how long he would last? It likely to take years however, meanwhile.. he will no doubt be a lame duck coming out of his first 100 days in office.

Flynn is just one in the headlines this evening... but there are too many working very hard in covering up and colluding to HIDE & spin the narrative .. Trump in USA yell's "Fake News" and Putin simply denies denies... SMH!

Flynn should NOT be given "Immunity Agreement"! IMO

You keep spinning and deflecting, because you are guilty of hypocrisy.


If you are upset with Russia for interfering in foreign elections, then you should also be upset with Obama for doing the same thing.


If Trump colluded with Russia, offered them more flexibility or to reduce sanctions, etc...then I support him being held to higher standards than Obama and removed from office.


Russia was also apparently prepared to influence Hillary if she had won as expected...Hillary's Podesta broke a law by forgetting to disclose that he recently had picked up 75,000 shares of a Putin connected company. Maybe they had her 30,000 deleted emails for blackmail?

Hmmmm...Michael Flynn not being granted immunity by the feds might be a good thing for the Trump administration - it means that Flynn's got nothing worthwhile to testify about Trump and his campaign/administration staff.

On the other hand...if Flynn is granted immunity...he just might "fall out a window while helping some workmen move a bath tub".
